Traders?

[sovereign]

As of right now:

Trader ID: Can smuggle (should probably keep it to a minimum for RP purposes)
Smuggler ID: Can trade legal commodities (see above in parenthesis)

With either ID, a pirate or lawful must either demand tax or cargo before killing the owner of said ID.

This is the way it is for now folks. We may be discussing some changes here in the near future, but as of right now, those are where the scenarios lie in relation to server rules.

Well that wraps this up nicely. However, what about bases? It isn't really smuggling if you take it from "place where you are welcome" to "place where you are welcome". That's just unlawful supplying. So, can traders dock on quasi-lawful bases to grab/sell cargo, and can smugglers dock on lawful bases to pick up/drop cargo? Virtually every smuggling route requires docking on a lawful base, so I'm assuming it should be fine... otherwise, the entire concept is screwed.


By the way, if anyone calls an Orbital Spa and Cruise base (specifically the Hawaii = smuggling central) a "normal lawful base" I *will* beat you up with a dirty sock. Read the rumors on Mactan, OSAC doesn't care who gives them money, and they have no problems harboring criminals.
